GEO. OSNOND KILLED.

Last Saturday. on the Woodland
plan tation. in Plaquemines parish.
Mr.. Raimond Rutsch. the assistant
ovsrseer of the place. was shot in
both legs by a white man named
Wilson. one of the hands, who had
become insane. and whom the party
were trying to d;slodge from their
cabin. Wilson fired through hole
in the door, through which his only
companion, a cat. would pass in
and ont.
Sheriff Thebault was apprised Of
Wilson's deed. and finding that it
was impossible to secure the luna
tic. he visited the plantation Mon
day. accompanied by Mr.. George
Osmond and two or three others,
for the purpose of arresting Will
son. It was found necessary to set
fire to the cabin to get Wilson ont.
just as the torch had been applied
Mr.. Osmond stepped out from his
place Of concealment, when a re-
port was heard from the cabin, and
Osmond fell, a charge Of buckshot
having entered his neck and si.le.
Osmond was carried TO u house neal
by and medical aid summoned. aud
everything done to alleviate his
Suffering. He fingered till 4:25
o'clock Tuesday morning. when
death came to his relief.
When the flames wrapped the
cabin, the madman, Wilson, broke
open The door ard came out with
shotgun. He was ordered to halt
by Sheriff Thebault. bnt assumed IA
threatening attitude. and the Sher-
If fred, wonnd,ny linn in the leg.
This did not have the effect OF
bringing him to II i:alt. when b.,

The following sketch OF Osmond

t,-two years vi age. II native OF

When the unfortunate and tragic

went to st Bernard parish, where

EDITOR Sr. TAMMANY FARMER:
"Where is the FAEMEK:" asks
some one Of the family every week.
If it does not put in regular APP
pearauce. Though four othor
weeklies find home on our table,
yet they look as if they were some
what lonely without the home pa
per. to keep up the interesting con-
versation that altogether ill ny
the round Of everyday topics.
Wonder why scEe folks never
find ont that a weekly paper is en-
educator in the family. Aeood pa
per will help the father with his
boys, the mother with her girls
1t will shed light on many common
and uncommon subjects that come
up continually between brothers
and sisters, and help them to mas
ter some Of life's problems. and SO
prove friend to ala FRIEND that
drops in so Familiarity sociaLle that
one is mt loss to know what to do
without its helpful influence. A
paper that is missed in the home
circle. il it happens to fail when j;
is due, is filling felt want, aud so
should be patronized.
One half Of the world would soon
ind ont how the other half gets
along. If every family took one or
more papers. But if 1T is folly to
be wise where ignorance is bliss
we 60 in for the folly. and think we
can manage to live without that

AT THE GOLDEN EAGLE HOTEL
Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness and BAY
Fever-A New Treatment.

FROM the Mall tCan J, Dec. 18th.
Catarrh is muco-purulent discharge
caused by the presence and development of
a vegetable parasite in the internal lining
membrane of the nose. This parasite is
only developed under favorable circum-
stances and these are Morbid state of the
blood as the blighted corpuscle of tubercle,
the germ poison of mercury, toxomna.
from the retention of the eifete matter of
the skin. suppressed perspiration, badly
ventilated sleeping apartments and other
poisons that are terminated in the blood.
These poisons keep the internal lining
membrane of the nose in a constant state
of irritation, ever ready for the deposit of
the seeds of these germs, which spread up
the nostrils and down the fauces, or back
of the throat, causing liberation of the
throat up the eustachian tubes. causing
deafness; burrowing in the vocal cords,
causing hoarseness; usurping the proper
structure of the bronchial tubes, ending In
pulmonary consumption and death.
Many attempts have been made to cure
this distressing disease by the use of inhal-
ents, medicated vapors and other ingenious
devices, but none of these treatments can
do a particle of good until the parasites
are either destroyed or removed from the
mucus tissue.
Some time since well-known physician
OF IOrIy years SldnulnS, AFTER mucn expert
menting succeeded in discovering the
necessary combination of ingredients
which never fail in absolutely and perma-
nently graduating this horrible disease,
whether standing tor one year or forty
years. Those who may be suffering from
the above disease should. without delay,
communicate with Mr.. Dixon, Sr., of the
firm of A. H. Dixon e. Son, Toronto, Can
ada. who is on short visit to this Coast,
and can be consulted at the Golden Eagle
Hotel, Sacramento, every Wednesday even
ing, from s to 8 o'clock, and ali day every
Thursday until further notice.

Hydraulic Mud.

The source from which comes the thick
est of the slickens which just now very
ungraciously offends the eyes and palates
of SacTamentans can be discovered by a
visit to tie river just below the mouth of
the American. The water-or excuse for
water-which flows out into the Sacra
mento from the American is thick with
6etrilis, being carried in suspension from
the discharge of hydraulic mines now be-
ing actively worked. while the water from
the Sacramento, coming there in contact
with it. though bad enough, is, beside it,
comparatively clear This shows con-
clusiyely that the majority of the hydraulic
mines situated on the American river and
its tributaries are being vigorously worked,
and if the people of this city and valley,
with the law, The Courts and Congress on
their side, have not enterprise and spunk
enough to cause them to promptly and
permanently shut down, they deserve TO
drink and eat The dirt that is being thus
showed down upon them.
